The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.

We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.

Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.

Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!

Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.

If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

First album of raw, but quite lovely, slow-motion improv by the Michigan quintet who would go on to call themselves The Cases and issue several cassettes on Fag Tapes. Clarinet, harmonium, tape loops, creaking chairs and piercing whistles seem to have been used, but it's hard to tell because of the hiss-forward, live-direct-to-boom-box non-fidelity that coats every gesture in a healthy layer of freshly baked mud. Band members include Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner... oh wait, I'm sorry, that's not right. I meant Heath Moerland (Sick Llama, Slither), Mike Connelly (Failing Lights, Clay Rendering, Hair Police, ex-Wolf Eyes), Anthony Miller (Crib Death, Mini-Systems), Candace Williams and Kye Potter. This was released a numbered edition of 25 cassettes by American Tapes in 2005.
